About Us

Who told you to neglect spirituality and Sanskrit learning ? What have you been all this time ? What have you been indifferent ? Instead of wasting your energies in vain discussions and quarrels in the newspaper, instead of fighting and quarreling in your own homes, which is sinful use all your energies in acquiring the culture and the thing is done. Why do you not become Sanskrit Scholars? Why do you not spend millions to bring Sanskrit education to all the castes of India? That is the question. That is the secret of power in India.
